One cup of raw egg whites contains 403 milligrams of sodium; one large contains 55 mg's.

Breakfast Foods Rich in Salt Content
You'll be able to better-control the amount of salt that you want to put into your healthy weight loss plan by enjoying your breakfast at home rather than stopping by your favorite fast food restaurant.
If you don't have that option, might we suggest McDonald's Scrambled Eggs. You get two and the salt content is very minimal for fast food at 196 milligrams.
Breakfast foods that are highest in salt content include bacon, sausage, ham, Canadian bacon and hashbrowns.
